Behind Closed Doors

I was so annoyed and appalled at the picture on Page 9 of the July 12 issue, I had to stop reading and write. Evidently Hiam Barsom is bringing her children up without any regard for anything--three children standing on a sofa! These are the brats one encounters in restaurants who jump on furniture, run around, almost knocking waiters over while the parents sit blithely by. I’m looking forward to the day of separated areas for people with children.
